Community Residential Services offers a wide variety of services from which to choose. Each program strives to assist people to live where they want to live and to help them be as independent as possible.

HDC has three co-ed, adult group homes where individuals who have mental retardation or another developmental disability live together in a family-like setting. Each of these homes is accessible, so people using wheelchairs can easily live in them, as well as those who do not. Staff members are always there when anyone is home. They provide supervision and instruction in cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, accessing the community, and much more.

Supported Community Living Services are individualized to each person's needs. People can receive this service while living at home with their family or while living in an apartment or house by themselves or with roommates. Staff members assist individuals with upkeep of the household, shopping, meal preparation, money handling, recreational activities, and going out into the community. For some people, staff need to be there whenever they are home, while others may only have a staff member with them to help with paying bills. The services are tailored to each individual's needs.

HDC provides respite services that offer families a break from the demanding responsibility of caring for and living with an individual with a disability 24-hours-a-day. While providing a break for the family, the individual also has an opportunity to spend time with friends and learn some new skills.

Trained staff members are available to come to a family's home and provide supervision to children and adults with disabilities while family members run errands, go to appointments, or just relax. This arrangement is in-home respite.

Recreational activities are available twice each week for teenagers and adults. See below for this month's schedule.
